These are a version of fondant potatoes.

Ingredients

• 3 lbs. Yukon gold potatoes, cleaned
• 2 tbsp oil
• 8 tbsp butter, divided
• Salt & pepper, to taste
• 1 tsp honey
• 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
• 1 cup chicken broth

Directions

1. Square off the tops and bottoms of the potatoes.
2. Heat two cast iron pans over medium-high heat.  Add the oil and half the butter.
